The second of 3 Free Dental Clinics is scheduled with appointments on 3 possible dates at the Rochester Community and Technical College Dental Clinic. I’m excited to announce that this dental clinic will also include nursing and social work services by the students in the nursing program and social work program at Winona State. They will have the capacity to see 24 veterans.
Please help me in spreading the word about this great opportunity for veterans. If at the clinic they are referred for further dental restorative care that maybe a hardship, they can contact me to get money from my President’s project to pay for their needed dental work. If you know of a veteran in your Unit, Post, or community that knows already that they need dental work but are not signed up for this clinic and they feel they need dental assistance to pay for the needed dental work, please have them contact me to see if our district can pay for their dental work.
I’m attaching the flyer for you to distribute to your Post and Auxiliary. If you get asked about my project, here is what you can tell them:
3rd District President Tamara Thayer’s President Project:
Theme: “Bringing Smiles to Veterans”
Symbol: a smiley face
Project: 3 Free Dental Clinics this year. The 1st was at MSU, and the 2nd at RCTC. The 3rd Clinic will be announced soon.
Goal: $5,000 to assist in paying for dental bills for our veterans. This goal was met!! I’m continuing to raise money as the cost of dental restorative care from the 1st clinic was $2,500 and we have 2 more clinics to fund. Please share the need to donate to this project with your local Unit, Post, SAL, Riders, and local newspapers.
The 3rd District Junior Honorary President is Evelyn Koran. Her project in support of my theme, is to assemble the dental care kits to be handed out for free at the clinics.
Thank you all for your help in getting this advertised.
*Only 7% of all veterans have dental insurance. Let’s show our veterans a big thank you for their service by getting them to these free clinics! This is a very needed project and I appreciate your support in Bringing Smiles to Veterans!
Sincerely,
Tamara Thayer, 3rd District President ’24-’25
